4.4 Assembly of the spacer
The coupling hubs have to be aligned such that the through
holes of the coupling hubs line up.
Clean and degrease the centerings and contact surfaces on the
spacer and coupling hubs.
Pull up the flanges of „spacer complete“ closer to the spacer
each at the maximum value R (table 6) by means of the retaining
screws (illustration 5).
Insert the spacer between the hubs.
Centre the spacer in the coupling hubs by unscrewing and re-
moving the retaining screws.

The retaining screws have to be removed for the
further assembly and the operation.
Hand-screw the spacer to the coupling hubs via the cap screws
(illustration 6).
Tighten the cap screws one after another and with several revo-
lutions until all cap screws have reached the full tightening torque
(see table 7).

Having started up the coupling, the tightening torque of the cap screws has to be inspected
at regular maintenance intervals.
For spacers with axial limitation (as an option) please note the follow-
ing:
Before mounting the spacer, remove the screws and disks for
axial limitation.
Having mounted the spacer completely, please re-assemble the
screws and disks of the axial limitation (illustration 7). Please ob-
serve the axial backlash S as per dimension sheet.
Secure the screws against working loose by means of an adhe-
sive (Loctite).
